COPYRIGHT ROYALTY JUDGES SEEK COMMENTS ON MOTION FOR PARTIAL DISTRIBUTION OF 2013 SATELLITE ROYALTY FUNDS (80 FR 7646)

The Copyright Royalty Judges are soliciting comments on a motion by Phase I claimants for a partial (60 percent) distribution of 2013 satellite royalty funds under section 801(b)(3)(C) of the Copyright Act. Specifically, the judges seek to ascertain whether any claimant entitled to receive royalties has a reasonable objection that would preclude the requested distribution. Phase I claimants are the Program Suppliers and the Broadcaster, Devotional, Joint Sports, and Music Claimants. Respondents must advise the judges of the existence and extent of their objections no later than March 13, 2015. For details, go to www.loc.gov/crb/fedreg.
